DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms, "connection", and "installation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. In addition, "communication" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Here, "fixed" means that the two are connected to each other and the relative position relationship after connection remains unchanged. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, such as "inside", "outside", "top", "bottom", etc., are only reference to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0028] See also Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a file box sorting and packaging device, which includes a base plate 100, a conveyor belt 101 is installed on the upper surface of the base plate 100, an L-shaped plate 102 is installed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101, an industrial camera 103 is installed on the lower surface of the cross plate of the L-shaped plate 102, a U-shaped frame 104 is installed on the upper surface of the base plate 100, a movable plate 105 is installed on the lower side of the cross plate of the U-shaped frame 104 through a translation mechanism 200, an electric push rod 106 is installed on the upper surface of the movable plate 105, and a mounting plate 107 is installed at the end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 106, and two clamping plates 112 are installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 107 through a clamping mechanism 300. A servo turntable 108 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 100, on both sides of the conveyor belt 101 in the width direction. Four packaging boxes 109 are arranged in a coaxial array on the upper surface of the servo turntable 108. Four sets of fixing mechanisms 400 are also installed on the upper surface of the servo turntable 108 to fix the packaging boxes 109. Vertical plates 110 are mounted on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 100, and infrared sensors 111 are mounted on the ends of the vertical plates 110.

[0029] During use, the file box is placed on the conveyor belt 101 for transportation. When the file box is under the L-shaped plate 102 during transportation, it is identified by the industrial camera 103, and then the electric push rod 106 drives the clamping mechanism 300 to descend and uses the clamping plate 112 to clamp the file box. Then the translation mechanism 200 drives the file box to move horizontally to the top of the packing box 109 to be placed. The clamping mechanism 300 drives the clamping plate 112 to release the file box, so that the file box falls into the packing box 109. When the infrared sensor 111 detects that the file box exceeds the top of the packing box 109, it means that the packing box 109 is full. Then the servo turntable 108 rotates 90 degrees, driving the next empty packing box 109 to rotate to the packing station for automatic replenishment, thereby avoiding the interruption of the sorting process caused by replacing the packing box 109 and improving the sorting and packing efficiency. Of the four packing boxes 109 on the servo turntable 108, one packing box 109 near the conveyor belt 101 is used to pack the file boxes for packaging, while the other three packing boxes 109 are used for replenishment. This increases the interval between packing box replacements and reduces the frequency of worker work. Furthermore, the industrial camera 103 and infrared sensor 111 are common existing technologies. The industrial camera 103 utilizes a camera and image processing algorithms. The visual recognition system can capture images of the file boxes and automatically identify the specifications and types of the file boxes based on pre-set parameters such as size, color, shape, barcode, or QR code. Therefore, we will not elaborate on them here.

[0030] Specifically, the translation mechanism 200 includes a first threaded rod 201 rotatably installed inside the U-shaped frame 104, a first nut seat 203 is installed on the outer surface of the first threaded rod 201, and the movable plate 105 is connected to the first nut seat 203, and a first motor 202 is installed on the outer surface of the U-shaped frame 104. The end of the output shaft of the first motor 202 is connected to the first threaded rod 201. When the first motor 202 is started, it drives the first threaded rod 201 to rotate, and then drives the first nut seat 203 to move along its length direction, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the file box to move horizontally.

[0031] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 300 includes a second threaded rod 301 with a pair of reverse threads rotatably mounted inside the mounting plate 107. Second nut seats 302 are installed on the two reverse threads of the second threaded rod 301, and the two clamping plates 112 are respectively connected to the two second nut seats 302. A second motor 303 is installed on the outer surface of the mounting plate 107. The end of the output shaft of the second motor 303 is connected to the second threaded rod 301. When the second motor 303 is started, it drives the second threaded rod 301 to rotate. Due to the setting of the two reverse threads on the second threaded rod 301, the two second nut seats 302 can approach or move away at the same time, and drive the clamping plate 112 to move to achieve the purpose of clamping the file box.

[0032] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 400 includes a U-shaped frame 401 installed on the upper surface of the servo turntable 108, and a fixing plate 402 is installed on the upper surface of the servo turntable 108. A third threaded rod 403 is passed through the interior of the fixing plate 402 and is threadedly connected. The end of the third threaded rod 403 is rotatably connected to a pressure plate 404. Both sides of the outer surface of the pressure plate 404 are connected to limiting rods 405. The end of the limiting rod 405 passes through the other side of the fixing plate 402. The packaging box 109 is placed on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 401 for limiting. Then the third threaded rod 403 is rotated. The limiting action of the limiting rod 405 on the pressure plate 404 allows the pressure plate 404 to move horizontally back and forth, and then it can be pressed against the outer surface of the packaging box 109, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing it and ensuring that the packaging box 109 can be in the correct position to receive the file box.

[0033] Specifically, rubber pads 500 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two splints 112, and the outer surfaces of the rubber pads 500 are provided with anti-slip grooves. Through the setting of the rubber pads 500 and the anti-slip grooves, the friction between the splints 112 and the file box can be increased, and the fixing effect can be improved. In addition, the rubber pads 500 have a certain protective ability to prevent the file box from being damaged.

[0034] Specifically, a baffle 600 is provided on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101. This arrangement intercepts the file boxes, positioning them in a designated position for easy, precise gripping by the clamping plates 112 and placement in the packaging boxes 109. Furthermore, if a large number of items need to be sorted, a corresponding number of servo turntables 108, along with associated U-shaped frames 104 and other components, can be installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 101 along its length. In this case, a pneumatic cylinder or other device can be connected to the baffle 600 to control its elevation, allowing the file boxes to pass under the baffle 600 and be transported to the rear for sorting.

[0035] Specifically, a column 700 is installed on the upper surface of the base plate 100, and a control panel 701 is installed on the top of the column 700. The setting of the column 700 facilitates unified control of equipment such as the industrial camera 103, the servo turntable 108, and the infrared sensor 111.

[0036] Specifically, a plurality of LED lights 800 are installed on the lower surface of the horizontal plate of the L-shaped plate 102 in a coaxial array around the industrial camera 103. The arrangement of the LED lights 800 can improve the lighting effect, thereby improving the recognition accuracy of the industrial camera 103.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
